MISSION STATEMENT
In a world that’s gone mad I will keep making. Fast food fast fashion I am the argyle sweater resting at the bottom of the $5 bin. The one that’s withstood decades of wear, overlooked, but pristinely fashioned. The one people would want if they knew better. Listen closely, you will hear my heart…the imperfections I have come to cherish and privately detest..the warmth of the tape machine…the vulnerability in each hopeful breath…unstoppable, undeniable, my human experience. Utterly unique and no different than anybody else’s. I only did this to leave something behind when I one day evaporate. Something for the pickers, diggers, the tastemakers and truth seekers. Something woven by skilled and tired hands, a pattern worthy of every stitch. The one and only…Empress.
I wanted to articulate why I do what I do, more for myself than anybody else, but maybe some of you will relate. I am very grateful I get to make art in this wild place we are all inhabiting…EMPRESS THE FULL ALBUM IS OUT ON FRIDAY ! ! !

My new record, Empress is out October 17th.
Available for pre-order at the link in my bio <3
I wanted the whole album to be one color, one unified experience in a time of consistent polarity. I wanted to focus on what we all share as human beings…that we all dream, we love, we fear, we have control, we lose it entirely. We are born and we exist in many forms and fashions and eventually we all die. We are wildly individual and subsequently not unique at all. We’re all here inhabiting one space, one earth. I feel there’s a need for us to be reminded of the common ground we share just for being human, for being here at all.
New song Hide My Weapons out Friday 🤺⚔️💋
